Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to ourselves. Or, worse, we feel like we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to the faith be so elusive?

Now, the mystery of prayer is made clear through the engaging teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute's Lectio series are brought together in Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God. Renowned speaker Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the ancient Church's tradition of lectio divina to show you the simple steps for making prayer an effort of love and intimacy with God. Essential and accessible, this new Lectio series is ideal for personal faith formation and small group study.

The Lectio series was created by the expert teachers at the Augustine Institute, the fastest growing Graduate School of Theology in the country. The Augustine Institute seeks to equip Catholics and parishes to renew the Church and transform the world for Christ. Now every Catholic parish has the opportunity to share in the work of the Institute by offering the Lectio series. Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God features a unique style of study which engages your mind, faith, experience, and imagination, leading you beyond simply reading to truly read, reflect, and respond. All in all, your group will discover the powerful and personal truth of God’s Word and practical inspiration for your lives.
